Can't Learn or Won't Learn.
-SAIrLAkE C1rY Anril 16th 1ss7

SALT LAKE CITY, April 10th, 1887.
To the Editor of THE HERALD.
Experience is said to be calculated to
make even fools wise. But some either
can't learn or won't learn. Solomon
said: Though thou shouldst bray a
fool in q mortar among wheat with a
pestle, yet will not his foolishness de-
part from him." There must be some
truth in that observation. Else how
can we account for the fanatical
Zane being so unable, apparently,
TO learn wisdom? The Washington
lightning has struck his right hand
man and with fatal effect, but Zane
evidently has no capacity to learn that
the chief end of an F. o. II. in Utah
is not to purposely and studiously vex
abuse, and Cypress the Mormons with
all the cruelty and vindictiveness of a
mean, narrow and fanatical nature, as
witness his last small-souled effort yes
terday, to prevent Mr.. simmons from
earning a livelihood. 1t looks as if
Cleveland will have to give Zane sharp
lesson yet in the matter of official fair
ness. He sadly needs it, and may he
soon get good and sufficient one.

The keen parental instinct is sharper

PLATTSBURGH SHAKEN.
THE CLINTON POWDER COMPANY'S
WORKS BLOWN TO ATOMS.
Over 1900 Pounds of Nitro Glycerine
Exploded-Not IA Trace of the Factory
Left-A Heavy Boiler Thrown over
800 Feet Plate Glass Iiroken.

PLATTsBURGH y. y, Jan. 1.-THE
Clinton Powder cOmpany's factory, one
mile and half west from this village was
blown up this morning at about s:45.
The shock was a terrific one, there being
fully 200 pounds of nitro-glycerine ex-
ploded. Where the nitro glycerine stood
Is now au immense hole in the ground
20 feet deep, and not a portion of the build
ing remains; hardly trace OF 1t can be
found. The explosion was caused by the
building taking lire from the boiler smoke
stack. The boiler, weighing three tons
was found over 800 feet from where it
stood when the explosion occurred.
Inc force was SO severe IN the village
that every one supposed that the buildings
were falling, and ran into the streets
There was hardly ii business place that
dld not sustain the loss OF more or less
glass. Several large plate glass fronts
were broken INTO fragments. NJ one was
injured as the employees knew that the ex-
puslOn was coming and put Il good dis
tance between them and the building
The cOmpany's entire plant was destroy
ed with the exception of the magazine
containing small quantity OF dynamite
IN the extreme corner OF the lot and 15U
feet away. The loss to the company will
be about $4,000 The factory would have
shut down saturday for the winter.

THE EFFECT IN BURLINGTON.


The effects Of the Pluttsburgh explosion
in this vicinity were very marked. The
first thing heard was heavy report so
torclbIe that some supposed terrific
boiler explosion had taken place, but the
protrasted rumblng which followed &C
companied by rattling doors and windows
induced many to believe that a violent
earthquake was IN progress. lmpelled by
this belief the employees OF many Of the
mills as well as some residents
rushed INTO the street. Those who
were III stores with plate glass fronts say
that the immense plates seemed to bend in
and out and Ill imminent danger of break
ing. In several Instances plants were
knocked oil from windows and windog
were reported broken IN one or two in
stances though the latter could not be
verified. in this office several small
articles fell from a shelf, and similar re-
suits are elsewhere reported. The report
was plainly heard at Richmond and it is
claimed tnat the effects could ne felt in
Middienury, Montpelier and Cambridge.
